Custom Stainless Steel Conveyor System for Case Turner

Jarlam completed this project for a leading national manufacturer of frozen confectionery and dairy products, which produces some of Australia’s most recognised ice cream brands.

Jarlam designed, fabricated and installed a custom stainless steel conveyor system that integrated with the client’s existing packaging line. The automated system reoriented packaged cases into the required position, enabling the client to capture vital case information while reducing manual handling and operator intervention.

The Challenge:

• The stainless steel conveyor system needed to automatically reorient packaged cases without manual handling or operator intervention.
• The custom stainless steel conveyor needed to fit within the limited space available on the existing production line.
• The conveyor system needed to integrate seamlessly with the client’s existing conveyors and packaging equipment.
• The system needed to position each case accurately and consistently so the client could reliably capture vital information.
• The stainless steel conveyor needed to meet strict hygiene standards and provide the durability required for continuous production.

Our Solution:

• Jarlam worked closely with the client to understand the existing line, available space and required case movement.
• Our team developed a simple, cost-effective conveyor concept that achieved the required case reorientation without unnecessary complexity.
• Jarlam custom-designed and fabricated the stainless steel conveyor to fit neatly within the existing production layout.
• The system consistently positioned each case in the correct orientation, enabling the client to reliably capture vital case information.
• Jarlam incorporated hygienic construction, accessible components and easy-to-clean surfaces to suit the client’s food-manufacturing environment.

The Outcome:

• Through close collaboration with the client, Jarlam delivered a stainless steel conveyor that integrated successfully with the existing production line.
• Jarlam’s engineers eliminated the need for operators to manually reorient cases during production.
• The custom stainless steel conveyor consistently positioned each case, enabling the client to reliably capture vital information.
• The automated solution reduced manual handling and operator interaction with moving products.
• The hygienic stainless steel conveyor provided long-lasting durability and low maintenance requirements, delivering an overall cost-effective solution for the client.
